She actually didn't start out as a runner but had dreams of making it big as an ice hockey goaltender. The running started as a way to have a more balanced approach to sport. Dakotah's love for running was a gradual progression, sticking with it, making improvement's year after year but most of all, having fun. Whether it's a world major or Olympic qualifier, she can always be seen with a smile across her face.

From a young age, running was a way for David to enjoy nature and explore the outdoors. As a teen he was able to shift that passion to track and field but managed to keep it fun while racing competitively. Fast forward and he's now taking on ultra distances, nurturing his light heartedness towards the sport with challenges, and generating funds for charities in need.

Most recently completing 104 marathons in 104 straight days for charity, proving that we are all capable of extraordinary things.

Mathieu is some one who I've been able to watch grow fairly quickly in the sport. From intense track sessions to crazy multi hour challenges in and around Montreal, he was preparing for something great.

Growing up, he was a multisport athlete who got exposed to a variety of sports, and found himself excelling at running. Competing at a high level helped Garrett see the challenges athletes face and how many lacked general strength and mobility. He is now a professional in the space, helping athletes to not only move better in sport but also in life. Show notes: https://drgarrettdejong.com/ (Dr. Garrett de Jong | Chiropractor – Move Better.

Rob had an active childhood and used running as a way to stay in shape for hockey. But over the years it became so much more. He's enjoyed a long career in radio and doesn't shy away from long distances either, taking on marathons, Ironman triathlons and most recently, the Bromont Ultra 100 miler. He taught me sometimes it's not about how or if you finish but the pursuit of something far greater. The victory comes from getting to the start.

Racing distances ranging from 50 miler all the way to 100 and by the end of them, you can usually find her name a top the leader board.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with plant-based Ultra Endurance Athlete, Robbie Balenger. Simply put, Robbie loves to run and push his limits.He's conquered the run across America in 75 days and most recently crushed the fastest known time for loops around central park in 24 hours. His accomplishments are remarkable but the message he carries about making better food choices and creating more sustainable food sources is just as incredible.

On this episode of Le Run Down I was lucky to connect with marathoner, community leader and Parkdale co-captain, Michelle Kay. She was more of a sprinter growing up but found an appreciation for distance running after joining the iconic Parkdale Road Runners. As a leader and organizer, Michelle's been able to inspire those around her, and has been working within the run community to help raise awareness of anti-asian hate and social injustice.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great conversation with runner, writer and community builder, Sean Hamilton. Running is a journey. For Sean, his next step was a 6 month runcation to discover new places on foot, but it was cut short by the pandemic. Settling in Vancouver, he found the trails and the words to write his first book. He even landed a job with one of the fastest growing brands in running. And with the birth of a run group called "Dark Starts", Sean certainly seems to have found his new home.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with masters sprinter and multiple record holder, Karla Del Grande. She loved running in school but found a new fire for it in her 40s, and now she's been inducted into two halls of fame and awarded WMA Female Athlete of the decade. She's the woman who came closest to running her age in the 400 meter, falling short by just one second, and it's something she hopes to achieve later this year.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with distance runner, and director of sales and marketing for Ciele Athletics, Dan Marrett. Growing up Dan ran for sport but years later it was a work fitness challenge that drew him back to running and he just kept going. He continues to pursue personal excellence in running as he builds a young family and a career in Vancouver. Part of that journey is discovering and sharing stories through running, allowing him to connect with runners from all walks of life.

On this episode of Le Run Down we went on an adventure with ultra distance runner and World explorer Ray Rahab. Looking at him now you'd never guess he used to be a big smoker and drinker. But in his early 30's he decided he had enough and changed the course of his life. He's travelled through jungles, extreme cold and grueling heat. Crossed countries, continents and thousands of miles. Including crossing the sahara in 111 days, which opened his eyes to all of life's possibilities.

For Marge, running followed her wherever she went. It started as a way to stay healthy and fit but eventually turned into so much more. From 10ks and half marathons to major marathons and The Speed Project, preparation was the key to success. And as she continues to chases her own dreams, she's always encouraging others to find self love and compassion through running.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with runner, triathlete and area developer for VeloFIx Quebec, Jeremy Cochrane. Whether it was competitive hockey and getting a good education or more recently running and multi sport, Jeremy always gave it his 110%. We'll discuss his journey into endurance sports, the challenges beginners face and all the lessons along the way. It's not always about winning or being the best, in fact for most of us, it's more about enjoying the process and taking what you can on race day.

Chris is a Co-founder of velofix, the largest fleet of Mobile Bike Shops in North America. A first-generation Canadian, Chris was living in Vancouver and frustrated with the traditional brick-and-mortar bike shop experience. The solution? A Mobile repair service that could shake up the retail industry as we knew it.

He is also very active in endurance sports, having run a 2.54 Boston Marathon, completing two Ironmans and most recently qualifying and racing the 70.3 Ironman World Championships in Nice, France. “Save Time. Ride More” has been Chris’s driving vision for the business since its inception. https://www.velofix.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-guillemet-b9a77aa --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/executiveathletes/support

TODAY’S VISIONARY GUEST IS CHRIS GUILLEMET. CHRIS CO-FOUNDED VELOFIX, YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP… ON WHEELS!   I'm willing to bet that you’ve seen their trucks driving around your neighbourhood to service your community members, or fixing bikes at a local race weekend. Velofix has been my go-to bike shop for more than 5 years. As a cyclist & busy entrepreneur, I am on my bike constantly…  but maintenance is not my strong suit. I routinely call my local Velofix Truck, Steve is my guy, and he comes over to give all 3 of my bikes a tune up. It’s seamless. It’s convenient. And it’s such a fun experience to talk to & learn from your mechanic while they work on your bike outside of your home. Chris is SO generous with his knowledge about starting and scaling a business inside this episode, and it was a true pleasure to hear the story behind the brand. He is a true visionary.   IT’S PRETTY NEAT TO IMAGINE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN 3 GUYS, CHATTING OVER BEERS, IN A GARAGE.. TURNED INTO WHAT VELOFIX IS TODAY WHICH IS A FLEET OF OVER 100 FRANCHISES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA!   Velofix was launched in 2013 by Chris Guillemet, Boris Martin, and Davide Xausa, who all share a passion for cycling and the common belief that bicycles can help change the world. The brand’s core mission is to get more people on bikes and solve problems standing in the way of this goal.

As Amazon Prime and Uber, along with other businesses committed to bringing convenience and personalization to today’s shopper, Chris Guillemet, CEO and co-founder of velofix, was busy with his two partners pioneering the mobile bike shop solution. That was six years ago, and a lot has changed with today’s omnichannel consumer and cyclist. In today’s Channel Mastery podcast, Guillemet and I discuss this evolution in the context of the future of the mobile bike shop. Where the channel is headed in the near future is not what you might expect.  Bike shops are still a strong go-to channel for today’s omnichannel cyclist, without a doubt, but cyclists are also consumers, and are trained everyday by the likes of Amazon, Instacart, Lyft and other friction-removing, convenience-driven businesses. Consumers today are demanding - they want choice, they want personalization and they want to save time. And they don’t have patience for anything less than that, it seems. In fact, just this week, Amazon Prime members threw a fit because of slower-than-usual delivery times.  Guillemet and his partners are not in the business of taking down the IBD - far from it. Instead, they’re hell-bent on serving more cyclists - and consumers - in the way they’re used to being served by brands today. They want to make it easier to ride bikes - whether that’s for competitive amateur cyclists refusing to lose a day of training or commuters committed to getting around their city safely and efficiently by bike.  In today’s show, you’ll learn about opportunity. Guillemet and his partners only see runway with cycling and closed on a round of funding early in 2019 with a group who believes the same.  In this episode, you’ll learn about velofix’s new U.S. expansion, which includes a U.S. headquarters located in Austin, Texas and an all-star team committed to building an exceptional and consistent end-consumer experience. Velofix is continuing to evolve its innovation and technology platform and brings a fresh take on lifestyle franchise opportunity for its partners. We also talk about the momentum behind brand relationships like the velofix/Canyon Bicycles partnership and the incredible opportunity for cycling technicians who want to run their own business.  Talking to Chris for this episode of Channel Mastery sparked a think bigger mentality for me. He and his team are continually looking one step ahead in everything they do.  Chris Guillemet is CEO and Co-Founder of velofix. Chris brought over 20 years of business experience to Velofix. His Senior Management experience includes growing a company to $90 million and a successful IPO, launching an Internet startup that has raised $45 million in financing and driving growth at a $30 billion dollar consumer packaged goods company. Chris is also a graduate of the SFU Executive Management program. Chris is a 2x Ironman Canada finisher, ran a 2.54 at the Boston Marathon in 2010 and returned to Triathlons by winning his age group at Ironman 70.3 Oceanside in 2019.

This episode we head to the front range of Colorado to meet Trent Newcomer a Franchise Partner with Velofix the mobile bike shop.

A busy professional who wants to save time and ride more! During our conversation we learn that Trent cares deeply about his local community and insures that every member of his Velofix mobile team shares his passion.

“You just mentally have to make that commitment. Everyone’s busy, from a work ad a life perspective, but you just have to commit. And if it means getting up at 5:30 and getting on the trainer, or getting to the pool, you can find the time”. This week Steph sits down Chris Guillemet, CEO + Founder at Velofix. After taking a break from racing Triathlons to start a wildly success mobile bike shop company + to focus on his young family, Chris is courageously stepping back up to the start line. Chris and Steph talk comebacks, balancing work, life, and training, and finding gratitude in it all.
